Count me out. I'll be too busy moderating the "Medical Advice" forum. As soon as HH gets around to creating it. Should be any day now. I'm ready. ..and waiting.

I second that. The other option shouldn't be an option. It's too painful. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I'm going to try to think out of the box for a change: How about if one does what feels... right? And stops playing games? I heard it works sometimes. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

...and...goggles? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Thanks. You're saving me a long ass post. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

At least you still can be held back. Whereas I... Never mind. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I'm still banned! Maybe I should trash my preferences and cookies eventually... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Jumping Your First Pack Job...
Frenchy68 replied to jumpjunkie2004's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I think the only difference between jumping it from altitude or on a hop & pop is in the speed the planet is coming at you. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return." -
In many cases, you can. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Left hand for cutaway, right hand for reserve?
Frenchy68 replied to veter_'s topic in Safety and Training
Out of curiosity: have you ever pulled your reserve with your right hand at terminal? If so, do you train yourself to do so, or was it dictated by other events? Neither do I. Although I've never tried to pull with my left hand...

Left hand for cutaway, right hand for reserve?
Frenchy68 replied to veter_'s topic in Safety and Training
At terminal, I wonder if quickly reaching for silver with the right hand would actually barrel roll you on your back... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return." -
Yes, definitely. I just don't believe that "everything comes back around to you in another form". "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Jumping Your First Pack Job...
Frenchy68 replied to jumpjunkie2004's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
You packed it. You jumped it. Nowhere does it say you have to land it. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return." -
Don't believe so. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

First Cutaway - Story & Questions
Frenchy68 replied to inzite's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Question: ould it have been the PC caught in the burble? It happened to me once, and as I went to EP, it cleared and pulled the main out. I now look over my shoulder on every jump to change the airflow. Just wondering... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return." -

Hmmm... Good point. Must have been someone else's eye then. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Just poked my eye out. Mine must go to 11! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Jumping Your First Pack Job...
Frenchy68 replied to jumpjunkie2004's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I did a hop & pop on my first pack job (which was suppervised by an instructor). It opened just fine. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return." -
...while drinking Champagne by the pool in 90° temperature. Is that legal? I need advice. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Happy f*%^#$g birthday Gia. But since you don't want people to know about it, I'll pretend that this thread does not exist. People, pretend you don't know it's her f*^%g birthday!

I suggest amputating above the elbow. If that doesn't help, go to the hospital. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
